Overclocking Fails

Hi community,

 

I built a PC for my brother recently with an intel i3-8350k, an MSI Z370-A Pro motherboard an 16gb ddr4 2400mhz Patriot Viper LED RAM.The PC works just fine but...

 

The issue is: Any single change to the BIOS' default settings fails. I cannot even activate the XMP profile to get the RAM from 2133mhz to its native 2400mhz.

Ofcourse I can't simply overclock the CPU either, not even for an additional 100-200mhz.

 

After every overclocking tentative, the PC won't boot coming up with a message approximatively saying:"Overclocking failed - Press F1 (to pay respects) to enter setup or press F2 to load with default settings (...)"

 

If anyone could help me fix this, it would be really kind, thanks!

Yep, like everyone else said, update that bios.

Be careful though.

Only update your bios when the weather is good (no chance of a power outage) and with a USB thumb drive you trust.

If a bios update fails, your board is bricked unless it has the ability to flash the bios with the computer shut down which that one doesn't.
